I’m tight with the bank drive-through. We’ve got a good thing going. It’s been there for me ever since those crazy little people in car seats first began cropping up in the back of my minivan and as a faithful visitor, I rarely fail to pop by for my weekly hello. Yet yesterday, as happens in all long-term relationships, the drive-through […]
How to Be a Happy Mommy
A friend who helps you grow is a boss blessing on this earth. Someone who helps you be a little kinder or laugh a little more, feel calmer in the scary storms of this life, or learn something smart and new? A true gift. I have a friend who does these things in spades, and she wows […]
Direct Energy Directs the Savings to Your Piggy Bank!
When Direct Energy asked me to share some of their New Year’s deals with you, I realized it was the perfect time to share my own family’s efforts to save money and get a little smarter about budgeting. You see, we’ve recently started this crazy business of trying to teach our children responsible saving. I won’t […]
The Mama’s Job
It was December 18th, we were on our way to an IEP meeting, and I was grouchy. Christmas-grouchy, to be specific. You know, the kind of grouchy where you are so overwhelmed with holiday tasks, having to participate with the world at large seems irksomely superfluous. I wasn’t in the mood to have a whole […]
1-Up It in 2016!
This is it, friends. The time of cleaning up and grabbing onto our health is upon us, and we CAN do this! Really. I’m hard-core settling into some goal-pursuit of my own. If I’m successful, anticipate loads of blog posts about the magical way to shed zillions of pounds while raising two young children and being rendered […]
You’ve Got This
It happened yesterday. I was having a Tuesday. A Tuesday still shadowed by post-holiday slumpiness and house mess. A Tuesday in January, no less. Why on earth God found fit to throw this horrid month into the year, I’ll never understand. I was stomping fabulously around the house, trying to watch a 4 yr. old, unpack […]
Book Club’s Going Rogue
This past month has been a busy blur of tinsel and cookies and more struggles putting together a My Little Pony castle than I’d ever care to remember. It’s been full, it’s been fun, and Mommy is TIRED, but I’d be remiss not to pause and cherish some of the sweetest moments of the season–those spent cozying […]
The Circus Show
Lest you’ve ever felt things have ever been slightly out of control in 2015, this re-post’s for you…and here’s to fresh starts, friends! I’d like to report that Monday, the three year anniversary of my mother’s death, ended up being a day of blessing, a day of reflective happiness spent with my children, niece and […]
For The Mommas Whose Hearts Hurt
This was by far my most visited post of the year. It was written in the corners of a desperate, tired afternoon as I fought with my son over reading homework and burned dinner on the stove…I think this is why is resonated so much. I love you, friends. Truly, I love you… Last week […]
One Holy Night
With love and reverence for the true reason behind all the magic of today, I share this repost from last year. Merry Christmas, my dear friends… “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, […]
